How to Sell a Car at a Dealership in Monroe

Do you have your eye on a new Chevrolet car, truck, or SUV but are hoping to use your current vehicle to help pay for it? Maybe you’ve got an older vehicle you no longer need sitting in your garage, and are searching for an easy way to offload it for a good price? Whatever you’re looking to do, selling a car to a dealership is one of the most straightforward ways to part with it while earning top dollar. How does selling your car to a dealership work? Hendrick Chevrolet Monroe explains the steps for Matthews drivers, below.

How to Sell a Car at a Dealership: Getting Started

Technically, selling your vehicle at a dealership canbe as simple as pulling it out of your Waxhaw driveway and heading straight to your dealer of choice. However, following these brief preliminary steps can help ensure a successful sale:

• Make it Shine: You don’t have to spend a ton of money to make your car look like new, but a good exterior wash and interior detailing can go a long way to make your car look like an attractive acquisition.
• What Are Your Car’s Top Selling Points?: A detailed service record is sure to earn a higher offer for your vehicle. Additionally, be sure to highlight any desirable features and accessories it has, like heated seats or a bike mount. Dealerships look for these types of benefits when buying a used car because they know they can use it to appeal to certain sets of buyers.
• Get Your Documentation Ready to Go: Have your car title, state-issued ID, registration, and applicable payoff information ready to go before you visit the dealership.
• Estimate Your Car’s Value: Estimating the value of your vehicle before you visit the dealership will provide an idea of the offer you should expect. The trade-in calculator on our website can help, as well as reliable resources like Cars.com and Kelley Blue Book.
